2.5" 44-Pin Female IDE Cable

This TeKit cable connects two 2.5-inch IDE devices using 44-pin female connectors on each end. The 5 cm gray cable uses copper conductors and includes shielding for signal integrity. It supports ATA transfer rates of 66, 100 and 133 Mbps for compatible laptop or notebook drives.

Suits legacy 2.5" IDE drive pairing.

Builders adapting 2.5-inch laptop drives with 44-pin IDE interfaces will find this converter useful. The female-to-female layout joins two drives or a drive to a matching adapter. It does not fit 3.5-inch desktop drives that use 40-pin connectors.

44-pin female-to-female connector gender

The decisive specification is the 44-pin female-to-female connector arrangement with 2.0 mm pitch. Verify that both host and drive present 44-pin male headers before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 44-pin female connectors wear out after repeated drive swaps?

The 44-pin female connectors use a copper conductor and are shielded, so normal insertion cycles for 2.5-inch drives should not degrade the contact surfaces.

Does the 5 cm length limit ATA 133 Mbps transfer speed in a laptop?

The cable is specified for ATA 66 / 100 / 133 Mbps; the short 5 cm run keeps signal loss well within the ATA 133 Mbps margin.

Will the gray cable add noticeable heat or noise inside a notebook chassis?

It is a passive copper cable with shielding and no active components, so it produces no noise and adds negligible heat during all-day operation.
